Prediction: 1-1
Bristol City
Deepdale will host Saturday’s football game between Preston and Bristol City, the two teams who are eager to get back on course in the Championship. The Lilywhites failed to upset star-studded Arsenal in the EFL Cup last 16, but their five-game unbeaten run in the league is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Bristol City. All Robert Brady, Ched Evans, Patrick Bauer, and Will Keane are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Robins, on the other hand, have drawn five of their last six league games. As Bristol City are likely to adopt a cautious approach, as they always to on the travels, we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at Deepdale Preston defeated Bristol City 2-0 and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon. The likes of Ross McCrorie, Scott Twine, Cameron Pring, Sam Bell, Ayman Benarous, Robert Dickie, and Rob Atkinson remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side.
